Marge swears a oath to become part of the parents-teachers association at
Springfield Elementary, but
Superintendent Chalmers announces that the school is closing down at the end of the year due to the low test scores and owl infestations and all teachers will be fired. Marge vouces to collaborate to save the school but they refuse. At home, she tries to come up with a solution with the rest of the family.
A PTA meeting occurs at the church, where Dewey Largo proposes to reach for Constance Clavinger, creator of the beloved children's book The Plucky Little Goat, who has agreed to come to the book fair to read the sequel to her book. At the preparations for the book fair, Helen Lovejoy is throwing a fit for books that have words hint at seven deadly sins. Marge is called in to rescue the fair, and has to find a substitute to pick up Costance, and gets Homer focused enough to go pick her up at the Springfield International Airport.
He manages to arrive in time, but Constance says she has to freshen up. Times passes and Homer notices her at The Pilot's Room, drunk. On the way home, she keeps vomiting and they stop at a boutique, Imperfect Kingdom, to purchase a new outfit, but they get arrested as she shop lifts. With the help of Snake they sneak out, but Snake steals Homer's car, where the book is.
Homer and Constance manage to grab Hans Moleman's car and follow the tracker in the car to reach where Snake took it, where Homer saves the book (and a sandwich) from being crashed only to discover the sequel's plot where the goat is fed to a sausage grinder. She created it out of spite for people hounding her and for her husband, who has a tatoo of the book on his ass cheecks. Homer refuses to take her to the book fair but she convinces Arnie Pye to taker her in his helicopter.
